Pause for a little story
One of the best feats in this mini series is the bravery and courage to make a story about Sherlock Holmes, a character that no matter was played recently in the movie theater by Robert Downey Jr, isn´t very popular among the youngsters- what´s unfortunate. So all the merits and credits are due to Ian Edginton, whom again delivered an epic tale about this fantastic character. In this issue, the writer decided to slow down the pace a little bit, since he had revealed a lot of the plot already in the last issue, so it´s time for a little story telling in this issue about Dracula´s origins, about how Dracula hired Harker, the consequences of that for himself and his friends. It´s so funny seeing Holmes and Van Helsing together and their dialogues are quite interesting. I really didn´t like the art of Mario Guevara a lot, but since it´s just 4 pages there isn´t a bigger damage to the issue. David Fabbri continues to amaze me with his art, though it seemed a little rushed in this issue. I liked the story more than the art in this issue, especially when the writer made the modifications necessary to fit both stories of Sherlock Holmes (with Mycroft) and Dracula. This was a pleasant read, not so exciting as previous issues, but good also. Recommended.
